Japanese army station in Xiaojie Town.

Major Yoshida was sitting behind the desk, dressed in a straight Japanese military uniform, with his long back hair combed meticulously.

He picked up a piece of white cloth and gently and carefully wiped the Zuoguan Sword in his hand. The entire blade was wiped very smooth and looked extremely sharp. This saber accompanied him in the war in China and had killed ten Chinese soldiers and thirty.

Many Chinese people.

Yesterday, two of the wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers in Gejia Village were killed by this saber.

Needless to say, those ordinary people, what really surprised Yoshida was the Eighth Route Army. Even though they were injured and knew they could not run away, they still resisted and killed seven Imperial Army soldiers.

Although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was shabby, in terms of fighting will, it was much stronger than the Jinsui Army and the Central Army he had encountered before.

Even compared to the imperial soldiers who swore allegiance to the emperor and upheld bushido, they were no less generous.

Subconsciously, Yoshida was even a little afraid of these thugs.

What makes Yoshida feel a little lucky is that all the underground gangs on Tubal Road lurking in the small streets and towns under his nose are under his close surveillance.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, we can catch them all and leave no one behind.

"Report!" At this moment, a voice sounded from the door.

Returning the samurai sword to its scabbard, Yoshida adjusted his military uniform, and then said: "Come in!"

A Japanese man wearing ordinary civilian clothes walked in, then walked up to Yoshida, bowed and said: "Your Excellency, Major, two people with suspicious behavior came to the shop today and stayed there for 20 minutes. The captain asked me to come

Report."

He was one of the Japanese who monitored Chen Yongsheng and Wu Jing.

"Looking suspicious?" Yoshida's eyes flashed.

The Japanese said: "They are two businessmen, wearing long black robes and hats on their heads. I can't see their faces clearly."

"Why do you say you are acting suspiciously?"

The Japs added: "They looked around as they approached the store, looking very cautious. By the way, one of them looked up at the roses on the windowsill on the second floor."

Looking at the rose flowers means that they are reading the code. These two people should be here to contact the underground party.

Is it the main force of Tubal Road, their top line, or their bottom line?

What is the purpose of their meeting this time?

Are you planning something, or are you here to tell these underground parties that they have been exposed?

Yoshida frowned slightly: "Have you sent someone to follow?"

The Japanese said: "Your Majesty, Major, no."

Snapped!

Yoshida stood up, raised his hand and slapped him hard: "Idiot! Why don't you send someone to follow you?"

"Hi!"

The Japanese quickly bowed and explained: "They seemed very cautious and were afraid of alarming each other, so our people did not follow them."

Yoshida was slightly relieved when he heard this and asked: "Have they noticed you?"

"No."

Then, the Japanese asked thoughtfully: "Major, do you want to close the net now?"

Close the network now?

What if the other party is not the reporter?

In that case, it is very likely that the big fish will not be caught, but if the net is not closed now, what will happen if the other party escapes?

Then I thought about it, the other party was under the strict surveillance of the imperial army and was already a turtle in the urn, and it was impossible to escape.

In the worst case, even if these two people were tip-offs, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Yoshida said: "Don't move yet, closely monitor the shop and the coffin shop. In addition, send someone to find the two people who entered the shop, and arrest them immediately after they are found!"

"Hi!"

The plainclothes man bowed and nodded, and then walked outside.

After the plainclothes soldiers left, Yoshida sat back on the chair.

He reached out to loosen the button at his neck, feeling a little irritable. For some reason, he had an ominous premonition.

About ten minutes later, Chawu ran in with a panicked expression, and then ran out the door and shouted: "Report, report to Major Yoshida!"

"Come in!" When Cha Wu stepped in, Yoshida asked expressionlessly, "Cha Wu, what happened?"

Cha Wu immediately said: "Oh no, Major Yoshida, an imperial soldier was killed on the street!"

"What?"

How dare someone dare to assassinate the Imperial Army in broad daylight on their own territory!?

"Has the murderer been caught?"

"No, the murderer ran away, and the other party also captured Zhu Translator." Zha Wu replied, but I have already asked my subordinates to draw a portrait of the murderer. When the portrait comes out, it will be posted immediately. "

Yoshida asked: "What do they look like?"

Cha Wu: "Two businessmen wearing black gowns."

Cha Wu didn't dare to say that he was the one who let the two businessmen into the town, because he also received a favor of three oceans from them. He actually also saw that the other party was a little suspicious. The brother he sent out to follow him has not been heard from yet.

, the other party dared to kill even the Japanese, and most likely his brother had already been poisoned.

"It's them!"

Yoshida's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of what the plainclothes Japs had said ten minutes ago.

Cha Wu asked cautiously: "Major, you... do you know them?"

Yoshida felt a strong murderous intention all over his body and ordered: "The murderer must still be in the town. Immediately order the small streets to be blocked. No one is allowed to enter or exit. Take your people and collect them from house to house. You must find them.

, no matter life or death!"

"yes!"

Cha Wu saluted with a military salute and then hurriedly walked out the door.

"Black gown, businessman."

Yoshida chewed these words over and over, then sat back on the chair and slowly pulled out his saber.

…

In Xiaojie Town, Li Xiuling's family and Ge Erdan gathered together to discuss.

Ge Erdan took the lead and said: "I think these people are quite powerful, let's fight the Japanese with them."

Seeing that Miaozi and Maizi didn't say anything, Ge Erdan said again: "Why don't you say anything? Let's express our opinions whether we should do it or not. People are still waiting."

Miao Zi said: "Brother Erdan, wherever you go, I will go."

"What about you, Maizi?" Ge Erdan turned to look at Maizi and asked.

Maizi's eyes rolled around: "Erdan, you believe them when they say they are the Eighth Route Army? I think we should not believe what they say easily."

"Hmph!" Ge Erdan snorted, "It's not the Eighth Route Army that fights the Japanese. Who else could it be? The Jinsui Army? Could it be the Central Army? Anyway, I only fight with the Eighth Army, just those who were in our village yesterday.

A wounded Eighth Route Army soldier, he killed seven Japanese soldiers before he died."

"Besides, looking at their skills, they can kill Japanese without even frowning. They must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army. They are not comparable to the militiamen and guerrillas we have seen before. We won't suffer any loss by joining them."

"I think you are scared. Don't think that I don't know. You have no relatives in Gejia Village and don't want to avenge the dead villagers. Don't forget that you are from Gejia Village and raised you with every mouthful of food.

If it weren't for us fellow villagers in Gejia Village, you would have died of hunger outside."

"Who is afraid?"

Maizi looked a little unnatural. He was asked to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. He really felt a little scared: "I want to stay in Xiaojie Town to find out who betrayed the villagers and the wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers."

"Just leave this matter alone for now." Ge Erdan said, "When we become the Eighth Route Army, we can kill the Japanese to avenge the dead villagers and the wounded and sick soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. That's it!"

"Okay, Erdan, I'll listen to you."
